Another Tag


Four places that I go over and over:

1. Target. I never get tired of going to Target.
2. Krogers. If I only had a Super Target then I wouldn't have to go to Krogers!
3. Ginas. It's the best sushi place ever!! I would also go there everyday if I could b/c you can never get enough delicious sushi.
4. McDonalds. Maddy's favorite place to go.


Four people who email me regularly:

1. Gabe. He is on a mission and emails every Monday.
2. Baby Center. I get weekly updates about Olivia.
3. Southwest Airlines
4. Relief Society. They send out weekly emails.


Four of my favorite places to eat:

1. Gina's Sushi
2. Abuelos. The closest one is in Dallas but I have to go there everytime I am in Dallas. It is the best mexican ever!!
3. Hunans. Yummiest chinese food.
4. Chik-fil-a. I love their chicken sandwiches with buffalo sauce on it and their lemonade.



Four places I would rather be right now:

1. At a beach that isn't getting hit by the hurricane.
2. Getting a pedicure.
3. On a date with my hubby, just me and him.
4. In Utah, visiting my sisters.

Four TV shows I watch:

1. Desperate Housewives
2. Gossip Girl
3. Big Brother

Little Bunny FooFoo




So yesterday we let Winston out to go potty, which is usually a very quick process(he thinks he's too good to stay outside for a long time), well he was out there for about 10 minutes so I went out to make sure he was still in the back yard and hadn't escaped. He was at the back fence digging and barking so I asumed he had found a frog to play with(that's what he is always finding) so I went back inside. Well another 10 or so minutes passed and Micha wanted to see what he was up to so he goes outside and discovers a little baby bunny!! Winston had his paw on him and the little bunny was squealing, Maddy runs right over and picks up the little bunny. We found a little scratch on him from Winston pawing at him. We finally convinced Maddy that the bunny needed to find it's mommy and to put it down. We went out later to see if it was still there and it wasn't. Hopefully it found a safe place. Now Winston is very anxious to go outside and look for more bunnys!!

Olivia Laughing




This is the first time I have been able to get Olivia to laugh. I was changing her diaper and playing with her and she started laughing. Maddy recorded it for me.

3 Months Old!




She has started sucking on her thumb and fingers.
Don't think she really liked her bunny robe!! :) I thought it looked pretty cute!

I can't believe Olivia is already 3 months old!! The time has flown by and she has gotten so big so fast!! She is still a very pleasant and calm baby. She still loves her swing and usually takes her naps in it. She loves to lay on our ottoman and talk and kick her little legs. She is very vocal and will coo and goo all day long and we love her sweet little smile. She has become quite the drool machine lately so I might have to give into the bib, which I hate b/c it ruins a perfectly cute outfit! It's either a bib or changing clothes 5 times a day! She is still sleeping great at night and in her own bed! She also loves lying in her bed and watching her mobile, its very entertaining to her. We think she is pretty darn cute!

Maddy talks to Everyone!!



My sweet little Maddy loves to talk!! She wants to talk to anyone and everyone!! She knows everyone's speed dial number on my phone and makes her daily phone calls to them. Half the time I don't even know she calls them. Here is an example of her talking to a complete stranger at Target as we are waiting in line:

Maddy:"I like your toenails!"
Lady:"Thankyou"
Maddy:"They are really pretty"
Lady:"Thank-you"
Maddy:"Did you get those done at the toenail store?"
Lady:"No, I did them myself."
Maddy:"Wow, how did you do them? Where did you get the color from?"(her toenails were orange)
Lady:"I bought the polish from the store and painted them myself"
Maddy:"I love them they are so pretty!"
Lady:"Thank you I appreciate you noticing b/c I have all boys at home and they don't care."

Next conversation with the check out lady

Maddy:"This my Deedah but she doesn't live here, she lives in Hot Springs. And she is buying that jacket for me and the other one is for Gabby. Gabby is my cousin but she lives in Utah."

I guess I shouldn't have made fun of my mom so much for talking to everyone and giving them her whole life story because now my daughter does it!!!






My mom came up yesterday to visit us. We hadn't seen her in a while so I was excited she was coming up. I think Maddy missed her too b/c she didn't stop talking to her the whole time she was here. It was Deedah this and Deedah that, we could barely get a word in. She also tried to get Deedah to spend the night with us. It was a fun afternoon, Thanks for coming up Mom!

Swimming, Gymnastics, and Museums

Olivia passed out playing on her mat and watching swimming on the Olympics.

Ward Pool Party






Gymnastics





Sorry, I don't know why these pictures came out so horrible. This is Maddy at gymnastics. Her favorite is the bars and man can do them. She is pretty fearless when it comes to the bars and basically any apparatus. It's pretty fun to watch her.

Discovery Museum








We went to the Discovery Museum downtown last week with some friends. It was great, the kids played and we got to just sit and talk for about 2 hours. We never even made it out of this area to the rest of the museum.

Just some Pics





It was my friend Clare's Birthday so we went to dinner with her at Gaucho's Grill(brazilian steakhouse). It was way good but I'm not used to eating that much meat and was sick the rest of the night!! Micha is usually the one who gets sick after going there b/c he eats way to much, so last night he had to limit his intake and then got made fun of by Chris and Joe for not being man enough! It's amazing(and kind of grosse) how much meat those boys ate!!! All in all it was a fun night without the kids.

Swimming Time

Maddy loves swimming, now we just need to get those floaties off and get her swimming on her own. Micha was trying to teach her but she didn't seem to interested.
JP's little boy, Brock. He was happy just floating around in the pool! He is too cute!
Babies in bikinis are the cutest.

We went swimming at my friend Clare's apartment on Saturday. It was Olivia's first time swimming and sure enough she fell asleep in the pool. Don't you just want to pinch those chubby little cheeks!!
